Do not lie to me

Chapter 179

Shang Xuechen came out of the clothing store with a face of reluctance, lowered his head and tugged at the clothes on himself in dissatisfaction.Ji Shuping himself really couldn't pick out one of the outdated clothes that looked good, so he simply handed over the choice to the shop proprietress.The proprietress herself was wearing a rose-pink sweater, black tight leather pants, and platform shoes that looked like stilts, and she thought she was too fashionable.When Shang Xuechen saw it, he felt that there was a gap between the aesthetics of himself and the proprietress, not to mention that the proprietress was also obsessed with local romantic dramas.

Ji Shuping handed over the choice to the proprietress, and the proprietress put on an old-fashioned look and looked at Shang Xuechen from head to toe, knowing that Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping's styles would complement each other, "That handsome guy looks serious and mature. , Occasionally wearing bright clothes and changing the style will make people look completely new. As for this handsome guy, the peach blossoms seem to make people feel unsteady, so it’s better to wear mature clothes.”

When the proprietress said that, Shang Xuechen clearly saw Ji Shuping hiding behind the proprietress and pursing his lips and giggling.Shang Xuechen laughed dryly with no expression on his face, "Miss Boss, you're pretty good at talking."

"That's not true." The proprietress only thought that Shang Xuechen was praising herself, and immediately became proud, "I am the most fashionable in ten miles and eight villages. The proprietress of the hairdressing shop on Qianjie is always following me." Shang Xuechen twitched the corners of his mouth. Well, it sounds like the proprietress's attire level also represents the fashion pioneer in this town.

Shang Xuechen kept pulling on his clothes, and later Ji Shuping came out of the clothing store with his sleeves rolled up, saying, "Don't pull it, it will be ruined."

Shang Xuechen turned his head to look at him angrily, but Ji Shuping was fine, because the suit pants he was wearing did not match the polo shirt he was wearing, so he picked out a pair of dark blue slacks in the store.Ji Shuping is tall, and he wore the standard-sized slacks into cropped trousers, showing his ankles. He turned over the collar that the proprietress insisted on standing up for him, and put a pin on the back of the neck to ensure that the collar Will not sag.Now that Shang Xuechen watched Ji Shuping packed up and came out, he looked like a normal image at all, just himself...

He pursed his mouth in disbelief and looked down at his clothes. The gray polo shirt had narrow purple stripes. In addition, he was so thin that the whole clothes fell down on his body, like a village hooligan whistling at his passing daughter-in-law. .Shang Xuechen was so angry that he tore off his clothes a few more times, and said in disbelief, "Of course you're making sarcastic remarks, and you don't dress like this."

Ji Shuping smiled and came forward to stand behind him, touched his wrist along his arm from behind, and helped him roll up his sleeves.Being surrounded by him from behind, Shang Xuechen's unhappiness dissipated a bit, but he heard Ji Shuping say in his ear, "Who made the proprietress like Xie Guangkun the most, so of course I will take you like him Come dress up."

Shang Xuechen immediately wanted to push away Ji Shuping who was behind him in displeasure, Ji Shuping reacted quickly and immediately tightened his arms and locked him in his arms, continuing to bite his ear, "Don't forget to promise me, I will wear it like this Tonight, my daughter-in-law will take the initiative to heat up the tricks."

"Damn!" Shang Xuechen kept pressing his elbow on Ji Shuping's chest, looking like he was trying to get out of Ji Shuping's arms, but his face turned red with embarrassment, "Just wear this and go to the village entrance to beg A daughter-in-law, come back, I am a dignified man of seven feet, who will be your daughter-in-law."

Ji Shuping lowered his head and blew behind his ears and said, "When you were yelled at by me comfortably, you didn't emphasize that you are a seven-foot man like you are now, but you really look like a dissatisfied little daughter-in-law."

Shang Xuechen's ears were so hot that he wanted to push away Ji Shuping who was locked on him, but Ji Shuping crossed his hands in front of his abdomen and clung tightly, and every time Shang Xuechen moved, he tightened up.Because there are few people coming and going on the streets in the countryside, the two of them fought fiercely in broad daylight without any scruples.

"Haha, why don't you let me go soon?!" Shang Xuechen was scratched by Ji Shuping when he was twisting and pretending to struggle, his face was not full of reluctance like in the beginning, he just smiled and talked with Ji Shuping.

"No. Let me hold my little daughter-in-law for a while."

Shang Xuechen turned his head and gave him a sideways glance, in fact, he was also happy to be so tired with Ji Shuping.There are usually many people in the city, and there are people everywhere, and Ji Shuping's identity is always hindered. He and Ji Shuping have never been so open and crooked on the main road, and it is not a good feeling to be pestered by him on the main road now.

"Ahem, your fruits..." The owner of the fruit shop packed up the fruits that Shang Xuechen had picked, wrapped up the fruit basket in the store, and was a little worried that he had been tricked out after not seeing anyone back for a long time. See if anyone came back, how could you know that as soon as you came out, you saw two big men standing on the side of the road, hugging each other so tirelessly.

Shang Xuechen was overjoyed for a moment, and thought that this was the countryside and no one knew him anyway, but now he was smashed by the fruit shop owner on the spot, and suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed.He stretched out his hand to pinch Ji Shuping's arm, and then Ji Shuping let go of him.Shang Xuechen walked up to the boss with a blushing face, took the fruit basket and watermelon, gave the boss the money, and specially explained, "The new clothes, the tag on the back of the neck is not removed, help remove the tag."

The owner of the fruit shop showed an expression that he didn't need to explain, took the money and turned back to the fruit shop to stay there.Shang Xuechen shouted anxiously at the figure of the fruit shop owner, "It's true, the tag hurts the back of my neck."

Ji Shuping came over and picked up the fruit basket in his hand, "Forget it, don't explain anymore. Others see that the more you explain, the more you cover up, and the more you cover up, the more it becomes the truth."

Shang Xuechen slumped his shoulders in frustration, turned his head and glared at Ji Shuping again, "It's not all your fault! In broad daylight, I just come up and call my daughter-in-law hot on the kang, how shameful you are!"

Ji Shuping didn't feel guilty at all, instead he looked at Shang Xuechen confidently, "It's not because he is afraid that someone will turn his back on him."

"You! Me!" Shang Xuechen was choked by him, talking about you, me, and me for a long time, but couldn't find anything to stop Ji Shuping, and finally stomped his feet angrily. Originally, he wanted to see Ji Shuping's joke, but he didn't expect to steal chicken by himself Don't lose the rice.

Ji Shuping smiled and held his hand, "Okay, the bill will be settled at night. Now go and get down to business."

Shang Xuechen looked listless and was led forward by Ji Shuping, "Hmph, I'm too unlucky today, I'll be scammed by you even if I lose my phone."

Ji Shuping raised the corner of his mouth but didn't speak.

The two looked at the house number all the way and finally found the place.Shang Xuechen looked at the row of facade houses across the road and asked Ji Shuping, "Which one is the right one?"

Although the address in the document given by Zhou Ge is clear, the houses in the country are not as clear as those in the city, and there are always some self-built ones.It was obviously the place marked on the document, but now there are three front houses, one selling feed, one repairing agricultural machinery, and one selling counterfeit mobile phones for phone bills.

Now Ji Shuping had no choice but to take Shang Xuechen's hand and cross the road, "Let's find a shop first." Ji Shuping entered the shop that sold counterfeit mobile phones.The salesperson behind the counter who was lazily swatting flies saw two people coming in, but he didn't get up, he was still sitting, only yawned and greeted casually, "Do you want to charge the phone?"

"Excuse me, let me ask you about someone."

Hearing such a polite sound, the salesperson sitting behind the counter turned his head and took a look at the two people who came in, looking at them from beginning to end, with a strange expression on their faces.The salesperson carefully looked at them twice, and saw that they looked like they were from the city, but their clothes were no different from those in their own town. Finally, after some deliberation, he asked, "Which town are you from?" He said. Then he glanced at the fruit baskets in their hands and asked, "Did you come from relatives?"

After hearing this, Shang Xuechen looked down at his clothes, and then exchanged a glance with Ji Shuping.Ji Shuping patted the back of his hand, signaling him not to care too much about his image, and turned to ask the salesperson behind the counter, "Excuse me, we are looking for Chen Fang, who is our classmate's mother."

"Chen Fang?" The salesperson held his chin and thought for a while, "Oh, Chen Fang, she just came back from working in the city recently, and she lives on the second floor. You go around the back of this row of houses, there is a public staircase, and you can go up to the second floor. It’s the one at the end of the hallway.”

"Thank you." Ji Shuping nodded to the salesperson, took Lashang Xuechen's hand, turned around and was about to leave the store.

The salesperson looked at the backs of the two people going out, and said to himself, "Chen Fang's daughter's classmate? Didn't her daughter die early?"

When Shang Xuechen heard this sentence, he turned his head and glanced at the salesperson behind the counter, holding a fly swatter on his chin. Ji Shuping just lifted the curtain on the store door, turned around and saw Shang Xuechen staring at the counter, and asked him, " What's wrong?"

Shang Xuechen was brought back to his senses by Ji Shuping, and shook his head, "It's nothing, let's go." After speaking, he followed Ji Shuping out of the store.

"Oh, I remembered." The salesperson behind the counter patted his thigh and said to the door, "Chen Fang still has..." He didn't finish speaking because when he turned his head, he only saw the curtain in front of the store. After a couple of swings, the two of them had already left.The salesperson saw that the person was gone, so he continued to sit and yawn boringly after closing the conversation, holding a fly swatter and waiting to swatt the flies.

Ji Shuping was pulling Shang Xuechen along the base of the wall to go around to the back of the house. Shang Xuechen looked back at the shop they came out of just now, and accidentally sprained his feet all over his body.When Ji Shuping heard it, he turned around and knelt down in front of him and asked, "How is it, is there anything wrong?"

Shang Xuechen twisted his ankle and said, "It's nothing, I didn't pay attention."

Ji Shuping stood up and looked at him, "Why are you so absent-minded?"

"I don't know." Shang Xuechen looked back at the store just now, and said with a sigh, "I'm a little restless. Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Ji Shuping touched his head, "Is this better? If it doesn't work, I'll go back today."

"We've come here, let's go up, and tomorrow is brother Zhou's wedding, you still have a lot of things to deal with, if you don't come today to find out, when can you come back?"

Ji Shuping touched the top of his head twice before reaching out to him again, "Then let's go."

Shang Xuechen looked up at him, smiled, and just about to put his hand on Ji Shuping's palm, he suddenly stopped and looked up at Ji Shuping, "Don't be too aggressive for a while."

Ji Shuping tilted his head at him, "Do I have it? I think I'm quite kind."

Shang Xuechen withdrew his hand and gave him a look, "You think you are very kind when you smirk at people, don't you?" Shang Xuechen stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder hard, "You never talk You shrink your neck, and your shoulders are hard and never slump. Smiles and soft body language will make the other party feel that you are gentle and close. You just hang your neck all day long, hold your chin high, and keep your shoulders high. When you smile twice, Is that called kindness? That is called defiant!"

Ji Shuping touched Shang Xuechen's hand that was beating hard on his shoulder, and asked him, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"What do you mean I want you to do?" Shang Xuechen glared at him again, "We are here to visit, and we can't get information directly, we can only inquire through communication, beating around the bush, of course we have to lower our posture so that people don't know what to do. Be on guard. You can no longer put on your usual superior posture, which makes people feel defensive.”

"what should I do?"

Shang Xuechen patted Ji Shuping's shoulder vigorously, "Put your shoulders down! Shrink your neck!"

I don't know if it's because Ji Shuping's usual exercise has made his muscles too stiff. No matter how Shang Xuechen clapped his hands or punched him, Ji Shuping still looked so straight.Shang Xuechen sighed dejectedly, looked up at Ji Shuping, and gritted his teeth, "You tough guy!"

Ji Shuping smiled helplessly, Shang Xuechen lowered his head again and sighed, and said, "I really can't do anything about you." Then he straightened up, supported Ji Shuping's shoulder, kissed his neck first, and then licked it again. a mouthful.Ji Shuping's shoulders loosened, and his neck shrank back.

"Do you remember the feeling now? When I poke you in the back, you just act like this to show weakness to the other party. And when the time comes, remember not to clasp your hands to pick your own tiger's mouth, that is your defensive posture , it is easy to irritate others. If the other party is impatient, they will rely on instinct to enter the attack state first. Did you hear what I said?!"

Ji Shuping came back to his senses and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his waist, and said aggressively, "One time is not enough for me to remember, one more time."

Shang Xuechen had no choice but to blow on Ji Shuping's earlobe, and when Ji Shuping turned his head reflexively, he lowered his head and bit Ji Shuping's neck gently, and asked again, "Do you remember now? "

"A little more, or is there something stronger?"

"Yes, yes. But..."

"But what?" Ji Shuping asked hastily.

"But..." Shang Xuechen pushed him away violently, "Should we do business first!"

Ji Shuping was pushed hard and took two steps back, and when he stood up and patted his clothes, he didn't get annoyed that Shang Xuechen used too much force on him.Seeing that he could still stand still, Shang Xuechen didn't step forward to ask, and went straight to the stairs with the watermelon in his hand.

Ji Shuping laughed, and after arranging his clothes, he turned around and caught up with Shang Xuechen.Saying behind him while following him up the stairs, "Oops."

Shang Xuechen stopped on the stairs and looked back at him, "Why is it so bad?"

Ji Shuping looked at him with a smile, "Little daughter-in-law has a lot to pay tonight."

Shang Xuechen threw a "rascal" to Ji Shuping with a downcast face, turned his head and stepped on the stairs step by step, until the stairs made a "dong dong" sound.

Ji Shuping followed behind "Dong Dong Xiang", only saying, "The scoundrel also learned from you." As soon as he said this, the "Dong Dong Xiang" who was walking in front of him changed into "Bang Bang Xiang".

When he got to the door, Shang Xuechen closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Ji Shuping stood beside him and hooked Shang Xuechen's little finger with his little finger, "Don't be afraid."

Shang Xuechen opened his eyes, let out a breath, and turned to look at Ji Shuping, "Yes."

Ji Shuping smiled at him, adjusted his mood, turned around and knocked on the door in front of him.

"Here we come." Someone answered from inside the door.

Both Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping became a little nervous.The door lock "clicked", the door was opened from the inside, the door was only opened a small crack, and the people inside looked at the people outside from the crack of the door, "Who are you? Ah, I seem to have seen you in the hospital before. you."

"Yes, Aunt Chen." Shang Xuechen said with a smile to the woman behind the door, "If I hadn't seen you in the hospital, I would have forgotten about it. Auntie, I am Qi Liang, and Wen Ting was a classmate back then."

Hearing the name Wen Ting, the eyes of the woman called Aunt Chen obviously darkened.When Shang Xuechen saw it, he quickly comforted him, "Auntie, I am also very sad about Wen Ting's death. I saw you in the hospital that day and wanted to catch up with you and ask Wen Ting how you were doing. But then I went to the hospital I just heard that you are no longer working in the hospital. I came here specifically to see if your life is going well. I still remember that Wen Ting told me that you were her only concern in this world. "

"Care?" Aunt Chen looked up at Shang Xuechen, and then at Ji Shuping standing beside him.Shang Xuechen quickly explained, "This is my friend, I don't know the way very well, so I asked him to come with me."

Aunt Chen looked at them again, then let go of the door and said, "Come in and sit down."

Shang Xuechen heaved a sigh of relief and Ji Shuping looked at each other, and they entered the door one after the other.

"Auntie, do you want to change your shoes?" Shang Xuechen asked as he entered the door.

"No, just come in."

Shang Xuechen carried a watermelon in his hand, and Ji Shuping followed Aunt Chen into the living room with a fruit basket in his hand, and said politely, "Aunt Chen, I bought some fruit before I came."

"Too polite." Aunt Chen was not very enthusiastic, she didn't even look at the things Shang Xuechen and the others brought, and turned into the kitchen to pour water for them, "Just sit down."

They put the fruit on the coffee table, and Shang Xuechen glanced at the old-fashioned wooden sofa behind him without even a sofa cushion.The sofa was placed in a U shape, Shang Xuechen didn't sit down in the middle seat after thinking about it, and pulled Ji Shuping to sit on the imperial concubine seat on the side.As soon as Ji Shuping sat down, he saw that the wooden sofa armrest was cracked and covered with dust. Shang Xuechen also saw it, and told him in a low voice, "I don't live here often, it seems that I just came back recently."

Aunt Chen brought out two glasses of water, put them in front of them and said apologetically, "There is nothing at home, so I can only let you drink some plain water."

Shang Xuechen smiled and picked up the water glass and took a sip, "It's okay, auntie." While talking, he poked/Ji Shuping beside him.Ji Shuping also said, "It's okay." Then he picked up the cup and put it down in a sip.

Aunt Chen didn't sit in the middle seat either, she just sat down on the imperial concubine's seat opposite them. The two sides were silent for a moment, but Shang Xuechen became a little nervous. He searched in his mind how to properly bring up the matter about Wen Ting. Ji Shuping probably sensed that When it came to his tense hand, he went around and patted his back lightly, making Shang Xuechen relax.

The person opposite spoke first, "Did she really say that I was her only concern? Did you mention anyone else?"

"What?" Shang Xuechen didn't realize it for a while, "Oh, yes. That's what she said." After finishing speaking, Shang Xuechen thought about Aunt Chen's question just now, and felt that something was wrong. Who are people?

"Wen Ting, she didn't have a good life at school." Shang Xuechen tentatively opened his mouth.

"Yes, I know. I know everything." Aunt Chen on the opposite side said with her head down.

"Aunt Chen, actually some of our classmates raised funds for you, and you need to go through a simple process. By the way, Auntie, your identity information should not be a big problem, because we have found a professional organization..." Shang Xuechen's words were caught by the phone The bell interrupts.He just lost his cell phone this morning, and Ji Shuping's cell phone was on silent, so it wasn't their cell phone that was calling.It's Aunt Chen's cell phone.

Aunt Chen took out her mobile phone from her pocket and took a look, then looked up at Shang Xuechen and the others apologetically.

"If Aunt Chen is in a hurry, you can answer the phone first."

"Sorry." Aunt Chen said as she got up and went into the kitchen to answer the phone.

Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping were the only two left in the living room, and they were in tacit understanding without making a sound, one went to the bedroom and the other to the balcony.When Shang Xuechen looked at the balcony and turned his head, Ji Shuping also happened to look at the bedroom, and the two exchanged the information they had observed.

Shang Xuechen said, "There is no drying clothes on the balcony."

Ji Shuping said, "Two bedrooms, one with the door ajar, and one with dust on the doorknob." Shang Xuechen heard Ji Shuping's words, and his eyes fell on the door of the room with the dust on the handle. I just came back from living here, and there is no place that should have the atmosphere of life. And that bedroom might have been... Wen Ting lived in."

The surveillance computer in the security office was crowded with people, Zhou Yuan stood far behind and was talking on the phone, "Has he gone back yet?"

Aunt Chen stood in the kitchen, glanced at the two people sitting in the living room, covered their phones with their hands and answered in a low voice, "Not yet."

"Not yet?" Zhou Yuan turned around and glanced at the figure that appeared on the screen before the monitoring was cut off last night, which was similar in shape to Wen Fu, "He hasn't gone back all this time? Is he still in the city?!"

Aunt Chen covered her mouth and tried her best to explain in a low voice, "I don't know."

Zhou Yuan frowned, "Why are you talking so carefully? Didn't you say that he didn't go back? Then why are you talking so carefully? Did you deliberately hide it for him?!"

"No, Tingting's former classmate came to visit."

"Former classmate?" Zhou Yuan frowned and asked nervously, "Who is it?"

"He said his name was Qi Liang."

"Qi Liang?" Zhou Yuan clenched her fists.

"Where is the person? Where did the person die? Hurry up and bring me some wine!" A rude male voice appeared on the other end of the phone.Then Zhou Yuan heard a hasty confession from the person on the phone, "Yuanyuan, he's back." After that, she hung up the phone hastily.

Zhou Yuan put away her mobile phone, turned around and looked at the figure on the paused screen on the computer screen from a distance. The time was just right. She reported the casino last night and then came to the office to pry open her drawer. It was not because of gambling debts.Now that the person just returned to his hometown in the countryside, the time from committing the crime to escaping to the countryside was right.Zhou Yuan grimaced and clenched her fists. This person can no longer be kept.

And Qi Liang, Qi Liang has already chased him to the countryside, he is also a hidden danger.Zhou Yuan looked at the surveillance screen with gloomy eyes and thought.
